i have been able to laugh and see the funny side of things
me he podido reír y (ver opciones)


Explanation:

*me he podido reír y encontrar lo chistoso/gracioso en lo que pasa*

en lo personal, me suena raro hablar de "las cosas", pero otra opción sería:

*me he podido reír y encontrar lo chistoso/gracioso que tienen las cosas*

o una para seguir la idea del "lado" con una frase ya hecha en español:

*me he podido reír y encontrarle el lado amable a las cosas*

agree  María Diehn: La traducción de Claudia me gusta con "gracioso" incluido. Tiene una connotación más femenina, más posparto... Todas las opciones que usted presenta me parecen apropiadas.
